DISSATISFIED.

The Bellefontain Ohio Republican gets
off a three and half column kick because
of the endorsement of John Sherman for
president in 1888. 1t claims the Blaine
men were taken by surprise and outwitted
by the sly john Sherman. The following
is sample quotation: Some of the pa
pers favorable to Blaine, discovering the
drift of things, raised the alarm, but they
were sheets of local circulation, and mostly
in counties where the game had already
been successfully played.
A Iew element of opposition here ap-
reared tina. had not been counted upon.
Some of the leading papers in the state,
such as the Cincinnati Gazette, o. s. Jour-
nal and Dayton Journal, that were known
to be favorable to Mr. Sherman's candidacy
came out boldly against his endorsement
this year, holding that it would create d.
vision In the party and jeopardize the sue
cess of our state ticket, and that 1t was
very poor policy from Sherman
standpoint. Those who advocated
the endorsement were called fool
friends" of Mr. Sherman by
such staunch friends Of Mr.. Sherman as
rs the editor of the Bucyrus Journal. Then
there was summoning in hot haste of Mr..
Sherman's lieutenants, and Mr.. Sherman
issued the edict now or never" and Hal
stead packed his baggage for Europe, and
the commercial Gazette, Dayton Journal,
o. S. Journal and other Sherman organs
wheeled into line, protesting that 1t was
wrong and foolish, but that as Mr.. Sher-
man wanted 1t, it was the only thing to do
thus throwing the responsibility on Mr..
Sherman and letting him take the conse-
quences.
While this was going on, private letters
were being written by Dick Smith and
others to Blaine men and recalcitrant Sher.
man men throughout the state, saying that
Sherman wanted the Endorsement, that it
wouldn't amount to anything anyhow, and
that in the interest of harmony ii should be
conceded"

A WORK OF ART.

The invitation 10 the president to visit
Kansas City is magnificent affair. 1t is
large volume handsomely bound In seal
skin and bearing on white panel inserted
on the cover, Kansas City TO President
and Mrs Cleveland, Greeting 1887" The
first six leaves contain six allegorical
e gures in water colors, illustrating the
states of Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Colorado
and Indian Territory. Kansas City is rep
resented by a winged female figure sitting
on a hemisphere, on which are the outlines
of the states named, of which Kansas City
is the gateway The second sketch, Kan
sas, is figure bearing sheaf of wheat and
c carrying in her hand a sunlower
Missouri is represented by a
maiden sitting on some shesves
of garnered wheat At the feet of the fig
u re Is cornucopis from which vegetables
an d cereals have fallen. Some chimneys
in the distance recall Missouri's msnufac-
turing resources. Vulcan fittingly Illus
rates the mineral resources of Colorado.
The last conception of the artist is his hap
piest. 1t is an Indian maiden just awaken
ed from sleep. Out of the mist surround
ing her comes the spirit of progress bearing
. wreath and whispering to her promise
Of what the future has In store when she

ship of the Knights of Labor has fallen off
about one third or one-half within the past

corroborated, in some measures at least, by
other reports. and there is no doubt that it
is founded on fact. OF course Swinton is
opposed to the methods resorted to by the
conspicuous labor magnates of today But
it is well to bear In mind that he Is true,
intelligent and powerful friend of the
workingmen, as he has been from period
long before either Powderly or George, as
labor champions, were discovered.
